Described as a compendium of many lesser-known details of Illinois history, this delightful volume breaks Illinois down into 7 regions and suggests routes for short trips throughout Illinois. From Metropolis to Chicago, Nauvoo to Danville, it’s full of historical facts and interesting tidbits. Do you know about the original apple orchards in Barry? Or the Prophet of Prophetstown? Have you heard of the Handy Writers Colony in Marshall? Whether you actually hit the road or not, you’ll find plenty of Illinois trivia in the Roadside History of Illinois. Safe travels!
